I agree with arcobb.
I have the early 09 2.0Ghz with CTO 4GB RAM and the late 09 2.53Ghz stock with 4GB RAM.
I do notice a difference with video encoding but not really with other tasks, I think. Though it does depend what you're doing whether you'll notice much of a difference. You may do tasks that would benefit from a faster CPU that I don't.
There is no 2011 Mini yet (the current models are mid-2010), so it's difficult to say yet whether it'll be worth the upgrade to the new models that come out hopefully within a few months or so.
If you get a new Mini you may as well upgrade it using 3rd party RAM and get 8GB (2x4GB) RAM.
Whilst the RAM is easier to upgrade in the 2010 Mini, the hard drive is harder to upgrade in the 2010 Mini.
You could just put a SSD in your current Mini. If you don't want the optical drive in your current Mini you could put a couple of SSDs in RAID-0 (or have a SSD and a hard drive) in the Mini e.g. using the OWC Data Doubler: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/DDMMCL0GB/
In case you were wondering you can put 8GB RAM (2x4GB) In your current mini, but you need to make sure you've installed the EFI Firmware Update 1.2 from August 2009 first: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL888
Instructions for checking whether you've already installed that update are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237

Abstract

I think the song Gold Digger is fine. I think Kanye West is fine. However, that song for that crowd wasn't fine. I think another song would have been better, like "Hey Mama." Can't argue with that song. Lots of people in that room wouldn't have look so "Mike Myers-ish" as Kanye rapped that one.
How about Dave Matthews Band? Sure, people do love them, but if they sang "Crash Into Me," that would be a bit disturbing, wouldn't it? "And I come into you-oo-hooo.........in a boys dream."

Hi all,
I need a "cheap", read inexpensive, GSM qwerty keyboard cell phone for my mom. I was going to go on eBay and buy a Blackberry Curve 8310, but then saw it requires a data plan with AT&T. I would like to avoid a mandatory data plan requirement, since she'll never use it.
I just need good audio quality and text messaging.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hey everyone i just installed the dev version of lion on my spring 2011 mbp. i got the run around but finaly installed it. it sucked rlly bad. so i wanted to uninstall it and reinstall snow leopard. so i put the disk in, the window opens up, i it on the installer, then a window poped up and said "this application cannot be installed on 10.7". so i look around the internet franticaly looking for a solution. one guy suggested that i should insert the disk, go to sytm prefs, and select the disk as the start-up disk. then i restarted the comp. it turned off then on. i could hear the disk running but then it just went to that gray screen with the apple and has stayed their for the last half an hour. i have tried force shut-off. and it turns on and just stays at the gray apple. and btw i didnt back any of my stuff up so P L E A S E I honestly BEG: SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! im freaking out!

The labs, and just having 5000 other developers in the same place to discuss things with, have always been the main reasons to go to WWDC in my opinion.

When you took the screenshot, the shot screen loads in a new Preview window. Press CMD+A, then CMD+C to copy it.
Or use the shortcuts listed here (http://guides.macrumors.com/Taking_Screenshots_in_Mac_OS_X).
Ok, thanks.

I'm using Firefox with adblock right now and it seems to work fine, despite the fact that the page says it's not available for version 1.0+. I changed that to 1.0 and got the version that works.
Also, you might try Shiira. It uses the back-end that Safari and OmniWeb use to render pages and run JavaScript but it has its own distinct look.

If all you need to do is to get downtown, DON'T rent a car. BART is a fine option...one of the best transit agencies in the country. Getting to the station inside the airport can be a real pain, but it's not horrible. If you don't want to take BART, you can just grab a shuttle van ride...~$15 a person.

Yeah, the list of things it works well on is quite narrow. There is a google spreadsheet with compatibility somewhere. I was under the impression retina pad was far superior but I never bought it. Also moved to another app that was native ipad for the app I wanted to make fullscreen.

I suppose, but I still don't dance on mondays, tuesdays, and either friday, saturday.
5 times a week is my limit, I don't want to hurt myself or anything. :p
I don't have to worry about hitting that though. Mondays and Tuesdays are very busy days for me, and I usually pass out at the end of the day.

I'm looking at upgrading my Mac Mini to 8GB of RAM (from 4). I checked out the Apple store (eeek, I know) and it was around $600 CDN for the 8GB of RAM!!!!
Question, though...based on what I know of the type of RAM in the mini, I can purchase some non-Apple branded RAM form my local computer store for about $100.
I know Apple is over-priced, but this is insanely over-priced. Am I missing something or risking anything if I go with the non-Apple RAM?
Specifically, the RAM I'm looking at getting is this one:

That system seems more powerful than a new Ibook 12". yes the ibook has a little faster processor, but this imac has 80GB,SD, 768mb ram, Plus a 17" LCD, even if It can't exactly be used with anything else. But then because its not new and shiny depreciation sets in. If I had the cash I'd be willing to pay $800-850 depending on what (demo only, of course) software may be left on there.

Really depends on what kind of a graphics freak you are. My kids are playing on HD2600 iMacs and are still enjoying the experience. I think you should be fine if you are happy with running a game at medium detail in 2 years time. Most will still probably run on high with some tweaking.

Hi everyone, I've just finished work on a table of comparison for all current Macs, and I'd like to hear any feedback on it. Click here (http://www.nimoll.co.uk/macguide/) to see it.
I plan on doing an 'Upgrade Guide' as well. If anybody has any other ideas, I'd love to hear them!
-Thanks

^^^^^"Thank you for your tolerance" coming from someone named "anti-microsoft" has to be somewhat ironic, right??????
Surely that would be !!!!!!!!!!
???????? would mean its a very big question.
Stop yelling, I'm here now.
Thanks for responding so promptly.

Thanks for the input! I'd never heard of HomePlug, interesting.
For my present situation, t sounds like basically the whole setup is pretty low grade; I've got a slow external hard drive & wifi is just plain slow to begin with. I might end up getting an additional hard drive for my desktop and using the "sharing" option as suggested. Trying not to spend much money =)
Thanks again! I'll let you know what I come up with.

Oooh, I really hope you can help me. I'm looking for a bottom rubber foot (don't need the bracket, just the rubber) and a rubber screen "foot" for an iBook G4. I know it isn't much, but it would be really awesome if you could help me out. PM me if you can with how much you'd be looking for.
